Scottie King: I don't like eggs.
Matt King: Why didn't you say so before I made them?
Scottie King: I thought they were for you.
Matt King: Good morning. Does Mom let you have Coke for breakfast?
Alexandra King: I'm pretty sure it's after eleven. Now that we get a closer look, we might recognize Alexandra from the postcards at the hospital. We also see a resemblance to her mother.
Matt King: How are you feeling? Hangover, huh? Why am I not surprised? I don't know where to start, and we probably shouldn't in front of Scottie.
Scottie King: I don't mind.
Matt King: I thought you were supposed to be getting your act together.
Alexandra King: I have gotten my act together. I was just drinking. I've been doing really well, but nobody ever seems to notice my grades are better, and how I was in that stupid play you guys didn't bother to see. Do you even remember the name of it? That's what I thought. So what if I got drunk on the ONE night you happened to drop in? So the fuck what?
Matt King: Hey, hey, hey. Watch your language in front of Scottie.
Scottie King: I'm okay.
Matt King: Anyway, it's good to see you. Welcome home. Want some eggs?
Alexandra King: How long do I have to stay?
Matt King: We'll discuss that.
Alexandra King: I'm going swimming.
Matt King: Then I'll join you.
